The annual Christmas festival Of the
Baptist Sunday School tonight bids fair
to be one of the happiest and brightest oc-
casions of the season. Mesdames j. S.
Lipscomb, B F. Eakle and N. H. Hotch-
kiss haye arranged program of surpass'
ing interest, brimfulI of ioyfulness and
life. and Messrs. j. P. Kice, Luther Lush
baugh, and VIM. Matthews, the committee
on decorations, have performed their
duty in way that would reflect credit on
professionals in that line. The audience
room of the church building is already
beautiful with eyergreens and hanging
Christmas bells, and will be in keeping with
the entertainment. The school will be de-
lighted to have all their friends with them
to night.

Cheaper Railroad Fares.

On the first of January, 1888, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company Will inaugurate
the sale of local Ground Trip tickets at all its
offices east of the Ohio River.
These tickets gill be sold to any station on
the line east OF the Ohio Riyef. at 2 discount
averaging about ten per cent. of the regular
rate, and they will be valid for passage for
thirty days, including day of sale. They will
be sold for all trains, every day in the year. and
it is expected that their introduction will
bring about an increase in the volume OF local
travel that will, eventually, more tnan com
pensate the Company for the reduction in
rates.
We ave no doubt this voluntary action on
the part of the Baltimore and Ohio Company
will be appreciated by the people depending
upon it for the means of transportation, and
believe that ultimate results will establish the
Wisdom of its liberal policy.
